Create a deb package from Poetry project

[jrozhon]

Hi, I am struggling to find any examples of how to create a debian package from a project created with (most examples I found are setuptools-based). Is there please any example in the Poetry's community I can use?

I found that pybuild is probably what I want, but have not found any examples of how to use it.

Creating distro specific packages is not within the scope of Poetry unfortunately. But I am sure folks in the debian python community might have better ideas.

I did notice that there is a project called wheel2deb. You could simply do a poetry build and then pass the wheel to it to build your deb package perhaps?

Thank you for your answer. I am aware this is more like a debian-focused topic, but I had a feeling that inside of this community I might have a better chance of getting a relevant answer as in debian there is a mix of guys working with all the tools possible and still a majority of those relying on setuptools.
I will explore your link a bit more. Thank you.

@jrozhon Hi, I have the same problem. My old working project was based on setuptools and used requirements.txt. Can you share how you solve your problem, please?

Hi, to be honest I went the full circle back to pure python distribution and docker. But in the interim, I found out a nice tool that handled the conversion pretty well. Only drawback is it is written in Ruby. Hope this helps. J
